Hi my name is Dan Baradi and I was born and raised here in San Francisco, California. It's kind of weird being one of the few people in my family born in the United States as most of my family w famiy was born in the Philipines. Did I mention that I am filipino? I am 16 years old and currently attend Archbishop Riordan High School. Basketball is my favorite sport, I grew up watching and playing basketball. I've loved the game ever since I first touched a ball, I started playing basketball around ages 2-3. Lets see, some hobbies I have are buying clothes, I guess my strange addiction is buying clothes. A couple of other hobbies I have are playing video games, basketball,, going out with friends, listening to music, watching Netflix,YouTube, and anime. I genuienly love going out and just taking photos, wether the photos are of me or I', the one behind the camerataking photos of my friends and family. Growing up I attended VCesar Chaves Elementary, then went to Mission Dolores Academy in third grade, and graduated Middle School at MIssion Dolores Academy and now I am a junior at Archbishop Riordan HS.

Personally, I'd consider myself a genueine person, I give everybody respect until they give me reasons not to, I'm the friend everyone goes for advice, I guess you could say I'm "wise". My goal in life is to become successful in real estate and provide a stable life for my future family. Growing up I didn't have a father in my life and I feel like that shaped who I am as a person now. Not having someone to set an example for me taught me to make my own decisions, and live with whatever consquences came after, but most importantly it taught me how to be a man. I attented Cesar Chavez elementary until 3rd grade, then transferred and finished my elementary and middle school education at Mission Dolores Academy. I hope to graduate high school and moe on to UC Berkeley or SJSU for buisness, specifically real estate. So thats me, Dan Baradi.
